With a record of 11 wins and 1 loss for 22 points in 12 games, the Victoria Shamrocks are the first team to be guaranteed a berth in the 2009 Western Lacrosse Association playoffs. The WLA playoff champion will host the 2009 Mann Cup from September 4 – 12 and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the prestigious award. The Shamrocks are focused on winning their ninth national championship in the team’s 60-year history.
For the fifth consecutive week, the Shamrocks are the number one ranked team in Canada:
